Just got off the phone with my friend Ron Penny (who is now my BEST friend!), and the truck will be done by noon! Turns out, it had a completely dead 02 sensor, on the right side, and, surprise, I’d missed plugging in an important something or other in the wiring harness when I built the harness.
Imagine that, roughly 200 little plugs, on a harness I built from 2 junk yard harness’ and I miss one…
“How big a shoehorn did you use to get that thing in there?”, he asked, “That thing is PACKED. You did a REALLY nice job with that build.”
Coming from Ron, a guy who’s a very accomplished builder, on a pro level, and someone I’ve known for 30 years, that’s a real compliment. Made me feel pretty good!
So, I’m heading in after lunch to pick it up, I’m excited to drive it, and plan on a “Debut” at the Gilmore Cruise night tomorrow with the truck and a VERY shiny Spartan trailer behind it.

Break out the champagne!
yay! towing a shiny trailer and with shiny new paint and front bumper!
Nice job . Glad it all worked out.
It has been a struggle but at least that went well for you- saw an old Barrett-Jackson rerun and they had a 38-39something diamond-t resto-mod that went for— maybe $90,000 looked like yours. See you in Milford Gene
Good luck with your cruise in. That is a very nice job you have done.
Congratulations Brian! Will look forward to my ride!
